4 BARRIERS STAND IN THE WAY OF YOUR PERSONAL BEST PERFORMANCE

Sadly, your Sports Energy Product is likely failing to address these:

MAXIMAL PERFORMANCE, a glass ceiling. Your body’s peak performance limitations based on your genetics, training and fitness level.

RECOVERY, ability to quickly and completely recover.

HEALTH and well-being, maintaining a solid foundation. 

AGING, physiologic changes of aging, performance vampires.

These are the obstacles SmartAthleteFuel addresses naturally through plant and exercise science

A small taste of the 65 cited research articles behind SAF's ingredients:

* 13% decrease in marathon times, J Int Soc Sports Nut.2016;13:22.(@1).

* 47% reduction in lab markers of muscle breakdown post marathon.(@1).

* Faster muscle strength recovery post event, Nutrients.2016;8:441.(@2).

* 50% reduction in upper respiratory cold symptoms post marathon, J Int Soc Sports Nut.2015;12:22.(@3).

* Improved duration & quality of sleep, Eur J Nutr.2011;8:909.(@4).

An Oasis In The Ultra-Processed, Ultra-Hyped Energy Food Space

SmartAthleteFuel & BeetSmartAthleteFuel are radically different from main stream, empty calorie, energy products that attempt to address your body & mind's complex physiologic demands with cheap refined sugars, additives & marketing hype. SmartAthleteFuel (SAF) & BeetSmartAthleteFuel (BSAF) address your entire physiologic demands: focus, energy, performance, recovery & foundational well-being simultaneously, not just energy. That's evolutionary. To accomplish this SAF uses custom, Natural, SuperFood concentrates meticulously, grown, sourced & minimally processed to preserve micro & phytonutrient bio-functionality. This attention to detail is unheard of in the food industry today but yields real & lasting results. Volumes of research attest SAF's plant nutrients could help support your performance, recovery & well-being physiology concurrently. All done in a Cherry-Maple-Matcha Love Affair, taste experience their users rave about. Both Athletes & Non-Athletes alike welcome their versatility. Mix in 10-20oz H2O as an energy drink, hot as a tea or use as an energy gel shot. They're a great mixer with sparkling water, spirits & even a topping on granola, yogurt & ice cream, yum! A holistic, SuperFood lift supporting your mind & body's physiology in sport, work & pleasure. Real Food, Real Science, Lasting Results!

My gold medal performance at the 2022 World Masters in the 30km Classic race stands out for me...after crossing the finish line, I felt as if I could have raced another 15km lap ! I seemed to have boundless energy! I am convinced SmartAthleteFuel was a major factor in my success! Thank You Dave

Never used a product that brings my mind and body into the game like Smart Athlete Fuel. I play smarter and stronger with this onboard. My recovery time is shorter. Love the taste and the ability to use it as a gel or drink.
